Let's see if I can't contribute some photos...
One of my Ameraucana chicks decided to do some ballet on my head. Only about a week old - this was either Eddie or Red Beard.
This is my wonderful boy, Bo, the Rhode Island Red ( 1/4 barred Plymouth Rock - mum was a Black Star ), and little Horus, the Campine. Teaching Bo not to pick on chicks, when he made one little peck at Horus - they were fine with each other after this. I'd guess Bo's about five months here, and Horus was only about... a month, maybe two?
T'was showing off my Silkie, Liza, and Sizzle, Mop, to my little sister on Skype ( where most of these pictures come from ). They were probably only about a month at this point - same age as Horus.
Bo getting ready to go cruise on my bike! Too bad I don't have a photo of me actually riding with him! Five months old?
I had some chicks that I was raising, and one time I made the mistake of yawning in front of one. Notice how little Faust is totally indifferent to the situation at hand. Black chick is either Max or Cassi, and they were only a few days old at this point.
Chicks, chicks, chicks, attacking my face!! There was an avalanche of chicks shortly after this. Maybe a week old, this is a batch of Old English Game bantams. Within them, there was Marshmallow, Mocha, Millie, Miles, Bowser, and Artemus.
Faust thinks she's a super model... Three or four months old>
My Campine, Horus, cut his neck open once. Never fear! He's alive and crowing today, but this reminded me of just how pathetic poor animals look in those ridiculous E-collars... About two months old.
And lastly, here is my icon - it's not a photo, per se, but the photo itself was blurry as all heck so I "traced" over it. My two buff Orpingtons when they were only about a month old... maybe two? They're nearly seven months old, and not named yet... and I refuse to name them "Buffy".
